Duanmu Wuyou's reaction was as expected by Gu Yiran. He smiled and said, "It's not Wei Changfeng, it's Wei Changfeng's sister."
"Miss Wei?" Even Liu Xixun looked surprised this time, leaning forward slightly with great interest, "Shen Zangfeng's fiancée? Wei Changfeng said that there is a female family member on Xiaozhu Mountain. Is this the one? Others? "How is she?" He asked, "How is she?" but the words on his face were "It's best that this young lady from the Wei family is ugly and ugly. Shen Zangfeng should marry a dominatrix" and "Not only a deputy dominatrix" Her appearance, and what’s even better is that this young lady also has a bad temper. She is jealous and can make quarrels.”…
Duanmu Wuyou was very doubtful: "A stranger goes up the mountain, but a dignified young lady doesn't want to avoid it. Is it really Miss Wei that you saw?"
Although he didn't like Wei Changfeng, the Fengzhou Wei family, Jinxiu Duanmu, and Donghu Liu family were among the top six clans in the country. Duanmu Wuyou still believed in the Wei family's family style. If she was really a young lady from the Wei family, especially a legitimate daughter who was already engaged and about to leave the court, how could she be allowed to be randomly bumped into by a foreign man
So Duanmu Wuyou thought, "Why don't we, Wei Changfeng, who is addicted to women at a young age, bringing beautiful maids, prostitutes, etc. to the mountains to mess around under the guise of going on a trip?"
Famous nobles have been rich and powerful for many generations. If they can pass it down for hundreds of years without losing their family reputation, most of their descendants will be prosperous. It is inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed. Of course, some of the children in the family are smart, capable, diligent and motivated, so as to bring the family to a higher level; there are also some who pay attention to manners, elegant conversation, and only enjoy the support of the family, but do not care about worldly affairs, such as Jing Ping Gong; and some rely on family wealth and honor. , people who spend their days drinking and drinking without thinking about progress.
The last type exists in all ethnic groups. Although people of the same ethnic group look down on them, after all, they are connected by blood. Apart from scolding them for being unworthy of descendants, they cannot be dragged out and beaten to death.
Since Duanmu Wuyou has replaced Yiwei, he is certainly not a person who is not enterprising, and he does not look down on such famous disciples. He hates Wei Changfeng, so he naturally thinks of Wei Changfeng in this way - even though he knows that Wei Changfeng is so familiar with classics, history and laws, and he is definitely not a person who is unwilling to make progress, but... it's easier to say it this way!
Gu Yiran implicitly reminded: "The hut on the mountain is small. The lady probably didn't know that we were going up the mountain, so we bumped into her. After all, she is a lady. If it wasn't an accident, how could we meet randomly? When we went up, we saw her with her The maids and women were walking by the stream, and all the attendants were well-dressed, and they were all wearing curtains and hats. We didn't dare to look too much, but it was a coincidence that when we were going down the mountain, Wei Qing wanted to take us to avoid it, so he deliberately chose the path behind the house, not wanting to do that. The lady was probably thinking the same thing, so she was relaxing in the bamboo pavilion behind the house... The bamboo pillars in the Hsinchu Pavilion with green bamboo leaves were almost the same color. Thanks to Zong Qi's sharp eyesight, he popped out the dagger from his sleeve and nailed the snake to the pillar. "
"Brother Deng's eyesight has always been unparalleled." Duanmu Wuyou heard what Gu Yiran meant. Since Gu Yiran was sure that they met Miss Wei's family, he had casually speculated that the female family member had a bad status before, so he was targeting Miss Wei's family. I'm offended. Although there is no Wei family here, it is disrespectful to accuse the real rich lady of being a maid or a prostitute.
What's more, this Miss Wei family is the fiancée of someone they know... Then he said sarcastically, "If it weren't for Brother Deng, our Shen Zangfeng, who is not crowned the first person in the imperial capital, hehe!" Shen Zangfeng is called the uncrowned person in the imperial capital. He is the number one young man, and he is also a personal guard. He has been very popular in recent years, and he is highly praised by the Holy Emperor. Although people like Duanmu Wuyou were born slightly lower than Shen Zangfeng, they were all descendants of nobles. It was at the peak of their blood, who would be willing to obey whom
I just heard that this leader was always somewhat hostile to Shen Zangfeng. Now that he thought about his companion saving Shen Zangfeng's fiancée, he felt that he had the opportunity to laugh at Shen Zangfeng - so what if Shen Zangfeng was so powerful? If it weren’t for Deng Zongqi, he wouldn’t even be able to protect his fiancée!
Deng Zongqi didn't want to but smiled calmly: "Originally, I thought it was a critical moment, but later I discovered that even if I didn't take action, Miss Wei might not be in trouble."
"Brother Deng, why did you say this?" Except for Gu Yiran, Duanmu Wuyou and Liu Xixun were all very surprised.
Deng Zongqi and Gu Yiran looked at each other and then said: "This young lady from the Wei family is really not weak in skills. Although I don't know if she has only learned concealed weapons, she can nail a jade hairpin with a round head from a distance of more than ten feet." Wearing another bamboo leaf green... With such strength, I am afraid that even if the bamboo leaf green swims into the clothes, once it is discovered, the young lady's agility may not be able to hurt her. "
Duanmu Wuyou and Liu Xixun looked in disbelief and said in shock, "Are you talking about the miss of the Wei family, or the secret guard of the Wei family?"
Deng Zongqi said: "She is a young lady from the Wei family. When Wei Changfeng knew about this change, he rushed to the back of the house in panic and called her 'elder sister'. The granddaughter of the Wei family is in the imperial capital. Only the eldest sister can be called the eldest sister by Wei Changfeng." The eldest daughter and his only sister is the one promised to Shen Zangfeng."
Gu Yiran saw Duanmu Wuyou and Liu Xixun looking at him and understood what they meant. He nodded and said, "That's true. This Miss Wei family is so courageous. Zong Qi found that the first bamboo leaf was only on top of her head. Inch high up, because the situation was critical, he took action without explanation. The dagger flew into the pavilion and pointed directly at her head... It is said that women in the boudoir, even men like me, would be frightened when such a change happened to them while we were relaxing in the pavilion. She screamed in surprise and even collapsed to the ground. However, the lady was not surprised. After understanding the reason, she immediately straightened her clothes and came out of the pavilion to thank Zong Qi. In the middle, the maid found another one more than ten feet away! Zhuyeqing, before the guard of the Wei family could take action, this young lady pulled out the hairpin from the hair of the maid next to her and killed her! "
He and Deng Zongqi looked at each other and said with a wry smile, "This is the first time for us to see such a noble lady!" In this sentence, there are seven parts of surprise and two parts of appreciation, and one part is about to be complicated.
"..." Neither Gu Yiran nor Deng Zongqi were liars. They both testified in unison that Miss Wei's skills were extraordinary. Duanmu Wuyou and Liu Xixun fell silent immediately. After a while, the tall and sturdy Liu Xixun sighed with resentment. , said, "Shen Zangfeng himself has firmly established himself as the number one person in the imperial capital, how come even his wife is so terrifying!"
Everyone knew that he had lost to Shen Zangfeng three times, and he didn't say it often, but he was really holding back his strength in his heart, but he didn't want Shen Zangfeng to defeat him several times. Even his fiancée was so fierce... Gu Yiran was waiting to be comforted. He didn't expect Liu Xixun to roll his eyes, and all his resentment suddenly disappeared, and he actually started to gloat, "This Miss Wei family is so powerful, and she was just shocked by Zhuyeqing in the pavilion, in front of you foreigners, she didn't avoid suspicion. Killing another Bamboo Leaf Green to take revenge - with such a decisive killing, I'm afraid she will roll up her sleeves when they get married next year, and Shen Zangfeng will be docile and obedient... This marriage is a good one! OK!"
He happily raised the tea bowl and said sincerely, "I wish this Miss Wei a long future, good children, and control Shen Zangfeng for the rest of her life so that she would not dare to look east or west or south or north!"
... Gu Yiran coughed dryly and said: "Let's talk about the next journey." A group of people are so far away from the imperial capital, and they also have holy orders, and they still never forget to curse Shen Cangfeng for marrying a tigress. —The more this happens, the more obvious the shadow Shen Zangfeng casts on them.
If I continue to talk about it, I am afraid that I will never hope to defeat this person in my life.
Soon after, the meal was prepared, and the accompanying servants tested it with silver chopsticks and brought it out. Everyone was a big family, and they were very particular about their food, so the restaurant became quiet.
Deng Zongqi was eating his rice calmly and dignifiedly, but his heart felt like it was beating a little fast...
—So that’s Miss Wei, not the Crown Princess-to-be
On Xiaozhu Mountain, Deng Zongqi looked at Wei Changying who was wearing a curtain hat again and again. It was not because he did not know etiquette or was greedy for beauty.
He was the direct son of the Deng family in Rongcheng, but his father died of illness when he was seven years old. He had been a fifth-rank official during his lifetime - if he had relied on the qualifications of his grandfather, who had been a third-rank official, he could have been promoted to the honorary guard. However, his father had a very bad temperament during his lifetime. He offended all his brothers, and even the Yue family was so angry that they cut off contact with him.
With such a father, one can imagine Deng Zongqi's situation after losing his father.
Although he is qualified to at least supplement Yiwei, what can he do if his uncle tacitly interferes? If it weren't for the protection of my aunt who is a royal concubine...
Speaking of which, the imperial concubine's status in the harem of the Wei Dynasty was very high. Below the queen, she was the imperial concubine. It can be seen that Deng Zongqi's aunt was doing well in the palace.
But Concubine Deng has been a concubine since she entered the palace. Decades have passed and the queen has been replaced three times, but she is still a concubine... It is difficult not to reveal regret and desolation in this matter.
Originally, Concubine Deng had no chance.
After the Holy Sage's first concubine, Queen Liu, who was born in the Liu family of Donghu, died of illness, the post became vacant. At that time, there was a rumor in the palace that the Holy Sage had no intention of selecting more high-ranking ladies to enrich the palace, but he wanted to let the concubine take the rightful place in the palace.
Although it is unreasonable to take a concubine as a wife, this holy emperor has done many illegal things in this dynasty. The Wenyue family also has a discerning eye. Some people dare to do things that are serious enough to remonstrate, but if they do it, it will affect the family. Even if someone does continue, the family will not agree.
After several lonely ministers in the court were given death, the Holy Father became more free to do whatever he wanted...
In terms of birth, Concubine Deng is not as good as Empress Liu, but she is the direct cousin of the Holy Emperor... The Holy Emperor's biological mother is Xiu Rong, one of the nine concubines of the late emperor, and she was also born in the Deng family of Rongcheng.
So as soon as Concubine Deng entered the palace, she became a concubine...
But who would have thought that just when the Phoenix Seal was about to be handed over to Concubine Deng, Empress Liu's cousin, a very beautiful daughter of the Qian family in Zhao County, accompanied her mother to the palace to express her condolences to her cousin. "He got lost and failed to leave the palace on time, but he "accidentally met" the Holy Master who happened to be offering incense in front of the Queen Yuan's soul.
So the second queen of this dynasty was named Qian.
Queen Qian’s mother is Queen Liu’s cousin.
It's just that although the Liu family of Donghu successfully used Queen Qian to prevent Queen Deng from appearing, she also suffered a big loss. In the second year after Empress Qian had a biological child, the eldest son of Empress Liu, the prince who had been the crown prince for ten years at that time, was exposed to be practicing witchcraft in the East Palace and wanted to succeed to the throne early...
Although the Holy Emperor did not kill his son, he was dethroned and demoted, and still allowed the deposed prince, who was born to be pampered and had a strong temperament, to draw his sword and commit suicide. He left a suicide note to express his feelings, and the deposed crown prince also followed suit - this was the first tragedy of this dynasty. Prince.
The next person to live in the East Palace was naturally the fourth prince who was Queen Qian's biological son.
Although Concubine Deng was regretful when she was deprived of her position in the middle palace by Queen Qian, she was not sad for long because she had nothing to do at that time and could still care about when she would have a biological son. A few years later, she finally had the sixth prince, but Queen Qian's status was already stable, and Concubine Deng had no other thoughts and focused on educating the sixth prince.
But who would have thought that the sixth prince was smart, young, and very lovable. He gradually outshone the new crown prince who was several years older than him... At that time, Concubine Deng was still young and was proud of her beloved son's intelligence. As a The Holy Emperor's cousin is also favored by the emperor, and her position in the palace is second only to the queen. Although he was also wary of Queen Qian, he was not willing to let the Sixth Prince just do nothing.
The result of her unwillingness was that the sixth prince died of a sudden illness before he could grow his hair.
Concubine Deng almost went crazy because of this, and the emperor was also furious. But the result of a thorough investigation was that there was only one princess, the always modest and silent Concubine Huo Shu, who conspired with the Taiyuan Hospital to convict Ji Ying of murdering the sixth prince. The reason was that Concubine Huo Shu and Concubine Deng were both genuine concubines. Concubine Huo Shu was not only ranked after the concubine, but also Concubine Huo Shu. The imperial concubine has a son, but she does not...
How could Concubine Deng accept such a ridiculous reason? She kowtowed outside the royal study until her face was covered with blood. What awaited her was the Holy Master who came and reprimanded her for slandering the queen and despising the palace. If the Empress Dowager Deng had not been there at that time, the position of the imperial concubine would not have been stable. Even so, the imperial concubine Deng was still banned for more than half a year.
More than half a year later, a new person was added to the palace, and her favor plummeted... But the confinement for more than half a year was not completely useless. At least after the confinement ended, Concubine Deng calmed down and was more respectful to Queen Qian than before. The Holy Emperor asked From then on, she said that after reflection, she felt guilty towards the queen.
This respect and guilt are also repaid.
...About ten years later, not long after the eldest son of the second prince of the dynasty was born, Queen Qian was sentenced to death for being "jealous and murdering the concubine" - until her death, there was not a word saying that Queen Qian had anything to do with her. It is related to the death of the sixth prince.
But Queen Qian was finally given death, her reputation was ruined, and the Qian family suffered a huge blow. (To be continued)
